Unfortunately, this was always a problem. I'm sure "Open" had low download sales because all it takes is one person to post on the internet. Really he should think backward and release new stuff on vinyl. not that it still can be copied but it may be more difficult in some ways. Most of his fan base is from the 70's and 80's and that generation may still have an old record player collecting dust somewhere. With a new Roger Dean cover for his record it would be at least a collectible. I remember one interview in Tampa 1988 he said that Yes were looking in hologram 3D images for future concert shows. Well that never happened and I doubt the app will either.

Several of his albums were interactive CD-ROMs or DVDs, too.<br /><br />The thing is, as far as I can tell, none of them was especially successful financially or critically. Maybe Anderson doesn't care about that, but the zigs and zags of his solo oeuvre suggest to me that he very much does.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
